I agree that that can be frustrating, Robert but that is one of the characteristics of apple that I actually like. You can only support legacy apps for a certain amount of time without compromising the current OS...that's the Windows conundrum - support EVERYTHING and you have a real pot lucky soup on your hands.
If you don't need updated software that's OS dependant....why update OS in first place? Does it really give THAT amount of benefit?
I still run Windows XP and CS3 and it still beats me...it ain't broken, so why meddle?
The OS is generally something I want - extra features and security and from apple it's free or $25 so no one is sticking a gun to my head.
Plus, mainly, I like more speed - no matter how fast I am already - and usually, you can't get the speed without upgrading everything. Right now I have a fairly new macbook pro (18 months old) and a 5 year old Macbook and iMac...the last two drive me crazy sometimes opening D800 files and the newish MBP is snappy fast.
I've been trying to wait for the wifi and thunderbolt upgrades to come to imacs and will buy a new one then and it will seem silly fast (drool, drool, excitement). The body may be getting old but the tech center of the doddering brain is still intact and firing
